My beautiful CEO wife

Gu Ting and Feng Shanming were locked in a dispute, each insisting on the correctness of their own viewpoints.

The atmosphere of the meeting was tense, becoming unbearably awkward due to their argument.

Everyone felt lost, a trace of despair gradually emerging in their eyes. After all, the plan they had discussed, after careful analysis and deliberation, seemed unreliable.

"Is the end of the Ghost Raising Family really approaching?"

Someone couldn’t help but think silently in their heart.

Such pessimistic thoughts appeared in the minds of many, though none voiced them out loud.

Wang Hui sighed inwardly and slowly said, "Actually, both Brother Gu and Brother Feng have valid points. The key now is whether we should split or unite. Both methods have their pros and cons."

"To be honest, however, I do agree with Brother Feng’s suggestion."

Upon hearing this, Feng Shanming couldn’t help but cast a provocative glance at Gu Ting.

Although Gu Ting was annoyed, he kept silent.

After all, Wang Hui’s status and position were clear. He was related to the Xiangnan Ghost King by blood—not very closely, but nonetheless a relative. So, over the two years of the Ghost King’s disappearance, Wang Hui had gradually taken on the role in the absence of the Ghost King.

This was why Feng Shanming, Gu Ting, and the others showed him respect.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Wang Hui continued, "The reason I agree with Brother Feng is quite simple. As he just mentioned, there’s strength in numbers. If the enemy invades, everyone can quickly unite to resist."

"As for Brother Gu’s concerns, I don’t see them as a problem."

"Since it’s death either way, it’s better to gather our forces together and fight for a chance of survival. If we remain scattered, we’ll definitely be picked off by Sky Net like yesterday."

Though Gu Ting remained silent, his expression softened somewhat.

Clearly, he too began to agree with Feng Shanming’s decision.

However, before the discussion concluded, Wang Hui suddenly dropped a bombshell: "Besides joining forces to overcome this crisis, I’ve also decided to negotiate with the people of Sky Net!"

The crowd was instantly in an uproar upon hearing this decision.

Even Feng Shanming and Gu Ting looked at him in confusion.

Feng Shanming asked, "Brother Wang, did something happen to you today to make such a decision? Sky Net has killed so many of us, yet you want to negotiate peace with them?"

"Exactly, it’s like they’ve been trampling all over us, and yet we’re going to turn around and thank them. I can’t do something that degrading," Gu Ting said with a darkened face.

Feeling the crowd’s confusion and astonishment, Wang Hui wasn’t surprised in the slightest.

Because before making this decision, he had already anticipated their reaction.

Wang Hui was not in a hurry, and slowly spoke, "Actually, I made this decision after careful consideration. As I just mentioned, the purpose of holding this meeting is to discuss how our Ghost Raising Family should respond to Sky Net’s attack. After all, no one wants to die; I don’t, and neither do you."

"The only way to ensure we don’t die is to negotiate peace with Sky Net. There’s no other viable method."

The crowd fell silent upon hearing his words.

Because what Wang Hui said made sense; the idea of counterattacking Sky Net was utterly unrealistic. With their current strength, it was impossible to inflict any fatal damage on Sky Net.

Yet, to negotiate peace felt humiliating...

It was at this moment that Gu Ting coldly spoke, "There’s actually another way: if we can find the Ghost King, we will have the power to strike back at Sky Net!"

Upon hearing his words, everyone was internally shaken!

Admittedly, the words "Ghost King" carried significant weight in their hearts!

Feng Shanming slowly nodded and said, "Gu Ting is right. If we can find the Ghost King, we certainly don’t need to fear Sky Net. Even Evil God Xiao Zheng is no match for the Ghost King!"

When he said this, there was a deep reverence in his eyes.

For them, the Ghost King was like a true deity in their hearts. In their minds, the Ghost King’s involvement always ensured success.

The Ghost King was invincible, a belief!

Even Wang Hui’s expression became solemn.

However, deep in his eyes, there was a hint of helplessness: "You are all right. If the Ghost King could appear, he could indeed save our Ghost Raising Family from peril."

"But the most practical problem is whether any of you have considered where to find the Ghost King?"

"Does anyone know where the Ghost King went?"

Faced with his question, the once lively ship fell silent once more.

Because, as Wang Hui pointed out, no one could find the Ghost King. They didn’t even know if the Ghost King was alive or dead, making the notion of finding him absurd.

"So, do we really have to negotiate peace with Sky Net?"

Despair flashed in Gu Ting’s eyes.

His pride made it difficult for him to accept this decision.

Upon hearing this, Wang Hui sighed and said, "If there were any other way, I too would absolutely not want to negotiate peace with Sky Net. But we simply don’t have the power to oppose them now. If we want to survive, we have to humble ourselves."

"With every gain, there’s a loss. Let’s all come to terms with it."

After hearing his words, everyone couldn’t help but sigh.

Feng Shanming then spoke, "So who should we send to convey the message to Sky Net? This matter needs to be resolved as soon as possible, as any delay could result in unforeseen incidents."

"I’ve already found out that many important figures in Sky Net are temporarily residing at their Yunchuan Branch." Wang Hui said, "We can just send someone over there with the message. If they’re willing to accept the peace talks, we’ll make an appearance when the time comes."

"This decision is acceptable and quite safe," Feng Shanming nodded in agreement.

The others also started nodding, expressing their approval.

In truth, they harbored some self-deception, since even if Long Qie and others initially agree to negotiations, they might still go back on their word upon meeting.

Yet Feng Shanming and the others were unwilling to consider the harsher side. They only hoped Sky Net would give them a chance to survive.
